Shiraz

Hardy’s Stamp of Australia 2006 (about $8): I served this along with a number of other international wines at a wine class and this was by far the group favorite. Spicy berry flavors abound, but you won’t find this to be one of those out of control Shiraz fruit bombs. The finish is fairly soft and I would recommend drinking this wine fairly soon.

The price on this wine is unbelievable and should entice you to buy it by the case. Try it with well-aged cheeses or better yet, barbeque meats and veggies for a delicious food/wine combination.
